Objectives:
Explain the following:
1. Matter is made of particles called atoms and that atoms are composed of smaller particles.
2. The relationship between physical properties of a substance and its atomic structure.
3. The formation of compounds (ionic and covalent) and their resulting properties using bonding theories.
4. How the relationships of chemical properties of elements are represented in the repeating patterns within the periodic table.
5. The behavior of gases through the application of laws (Boyles Law, Charles' Law, IGL)
6. The factors that influence the frequency of collisions during chemical reactions that might affect the reaction rates (surface area, concentration, catalyst, temperature).
The Assignment: Produce an educational WikiSpace!
1. You will be assigned one of the objectives listed above and create an educational wiki to share with classmates!
2. Using the textbook and Internet, you will research your objective and outline important material (notes) for classmates.
3. Your Wikispace must also include a minimum of 3 images to support your objective.
4. In addition to your picture, you must include at least 1 link that will take us to an interactice website that deals with your content material.
5. If you insert a widget (that is related to your content), you will get 5 bonus points!
Design a basketball jersey for your favorite element! Your jersey should include the following: Name of your element Chemical Symbol Atomic Number Atomic Weight Classification Uses in the "real world" Use the link below to help you: WebElements
Periodic Table Coloring Use this link Periodic Table Arrangement to identify the following on YOUR periodic table: Periods Groups Metals Non Metals Noble Gases Halogens Alkali Metals Alkaline-Earth Metals Try to use different colors for each type of grouping (except period and group)
Periodic Table TRENDS Use the following website Periodic Table Trends to answer the questions below. You may copy/paste the questions into an email to ladams@homercenter.org. Your answers should be in YOUR OWN WORDS!Do NOT copy/paste paragraphs from the website.
1. What 7 properties will you study today, regarding the period table? 2. What determines atomic size? 3. What happens to atomic size as you go down a group? Across a period? 4. What is ionization energy? 5. What happens to ionization energy as you down a group? Across a period? 6. Discuss the tendency of atoms to lose electrons. 7. Discuss the tendency of atoms of gain electrons. 8. What is electron affinity? Does it have a trend? 9. How does the size of an atom change when it gains an electron? When it loses an electron? 10. What is reactivity?
